Malta laid on possibly the best ever beginning to an RC44 Championship Tour. The RC44 Valletta Cup kicked off on Malta's Grand Harbour with a day of match racing within one of sailing's most spectacular settings: The 500 year old Maltese capital of Valletta on one side and the city's giant forts the other.
Six flights were sailed starting in 15 knots with the wind dropping through the afternoon. At the close of play there was a Russian tie at the top of the leaderboard with Bronenosec Sailing Team ahead of Team Nika on count back.
Despite this being the first day of the 2015 RC44 Championship Tour and in a new venue, there was no shortage of action. A battle between Team CEEREF and Artemis Racing Youth in Flight 4 ended with damage to the Swedish boat and penalty points to both.
